Overview
The ARRMA MT Front/Rear Lower Skid Plates (2) are essential replacement chassis protection components designed for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand durability and reliability from their off-road machines. These precision-engineered skid plates are purpose-built to safeguard your ARRMA buggy's chassis from the inevitable impacts and abrasions that come with aggressive RC driving. Whether you're bashing through rough terrain, competing in local races, or simply enjoying weekend fun with your RC car, these skid plates provide the rugged protection your vehicle needs to keep performing at its best.
As a UK RC hobbyist, you'll appreciate how ARRMA has designed these skid plates with the everyday driver in mind. Rather than waiting for expensive damage to occur during your RC adventures, these affordable replacement plates offer preventative protection that extends the lifespan of your chassis and reduces maintenance costs over time. The set includes both front and rear lower skid plates, giving you comprehensive coverage across your vehicle's most vulnerable areas. ARRMA's reputation for quality engineering means you're investing in parts that will withstand the demanding conditions that British RC tracks, gardens, and off-road spaces can throw at them.
If you own an ARRMA 1/8 TYPHON 223S BLX or TYPHON MEGA 665 buggy, these skid plates are the perfect upgrade to protect your investment. They're manufactured to ARRMA's exacting standards, ensuring they fit perfectly and perform reliably from day one. For any RC car UK enthusiast seeking genuine replacement parts from an authorised dealer, these lower skid plates represent excellent value and peace of mind.
Key Features
- Tough Composite Material — The skid plates are constructed from durable composite material that combines lightweight properties with excellent impact resistance, meaning they absorb punishment from rocks, roots, and hard impacts without cracking or breaking, keeping your chassis safe during even the most aggressive drives.
- Complete Front and Rear Protection — This set includes one front skid plate and one rear skid plate, providing comprehensive protection for your vehicle's lower chassis in both directions, which is essential for buggies that encounter obstacles and terrain hazards from all angles.
- Precision Manufactured for Perfect Fit — Each skid plate is manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring seamless installation on your compatible ARRMA model with no modification or adjustment required, saving you time and frustration during maintenance or repair.
- Fast and Easy Installation — The precision engineering means these plates drop into place quickly, making them ideal for weekend maintenance or mid-session repairs at the RC track or bash spot, so you spend less time tinkering and more time driving.
- Moulded ARRMA Logo — The integrated ARRMA logo isn't just a badge of authenticity; it's a quality assurance feature that identifies these as genuine ARRMA parts, guaranteeing you're getting OEM components engineered specifically for your vehicle rather than generic aftermarket alternatives.
- Long-Lasting Durability — Unlike cheaper plastic alternatives, the composite material used in these skid plates is engineered to withstand repeated impacts and abrasions, meaning you won't need to replace them after just a few bashes, making them a cost-effective protection solution.
- Rugged Chassis Protection Design — These skid plates are specially designed with protective geometry that shields your chassis from ground contact, preventing damage to critical drivetrain components, electronics mounting areas, and structural elements that would be expensive to repair or replace.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA MT Front/Rear Lower Skid Plates represent a smart engineering approach to RC vehicle protection. Manufactured from composite material, these components offer the ideal balance between lightweight construction and robust impact resistance that serious RC drivers demand. The composite construction means they won't add excessive weight to your buggy, which could negatively impact acceleration, handling, and battery life—factors that matter whether you're running a casual backyard bash or pushing for lap times at a UK RC club. The material's inherent toughness means it can withstand repeated ground contact, sharp stones, and substantial impacts without splintering or shattering like lower-quality plastic alternatives. These skid plates are engineered to protect the lower chassis areas most prone to damage during off-road driving, shielding vital components from the constant assault of terrain. The precision manufacturing ensures alignment with mounting points, eliminating gaps that could allow debris to enter or protective benefits to be compromised. For builders and racers maintaining ARRMA's 1/8-scale buggy lineup—including the TYPHON 223S BLX 4x4 Buggy RTR (available in Yellow, Blue, Green, and Red variants) and the TYPHON MEGA 665 4X4 RTR Brushed Buggy (offered in Red, Blue, and Yellow)—these replacement skid plates are direct replacements that maintain the original equipment quality and performance characteristics that ARRMA is known for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC models are these skid plates compatible with? — These lower skid plates are specifically designed for the ARRMA 1/8 TYPHON 223S BLX 4x4 Buggy RTR with DSC (available in Yellow, Blue, Green, and Red colour variants) and the ARRMA 1/8 TYPHON MEGA 665 4X4 RTR Brushed Buggy (supplied in Red, Blue, and Yellow options). They are direct replacements for the original skid plates that come with these models, so installation is straightforward and requires no modification.
- Will these skid plates fit my ARRMA buggy? — If you own one of the compatible TYPHON models listed above, these skid plates are precision-manufactured to fit perfectly without any adjustment or cutting required. The precision manufacturing ensures alignment with your vehicle's mounting points for immediate protection and optimal fitment.
- What material are these skid plates made from? — The skid plates are constructed from tough composite material, which provides excellent impact resistance and durability whilst remaining lightweight enough not to negatively affect your buggy's performance characteristics. This composite construction offers superior protection compared to standard plastic without the weight penalty of full metal alternatives.
- Why would I need replacement skid plates? — During aggressive off-road driving, rock crawling, and bashing, your lower skid plates take significant punishment from ground contact and impacts. Over time, composite material can crack, splinter, or wear through. Having replacement skid plates on hand means you can quickly restore full chassis protection without waiting for shipping or expensive repairs to underlying components.
- Are these genuine ARRMA parts? — Yes, these are official ARRMA replacement parts supplied through authorised dealers like RC Model Shop. The moulded ARRMA logo confirms authenticity, and purchasing genuine OEM parts ensures you're getting components engineered to work perfectly with your vehicle rather than third-party alternatives that may have fitment or quality issues.
- How do I install these skid plates? — The precision manufacturing means installation is fast and straightforward. Remove your old skid plates (typically held by a few mounting bolts) and install the new ones, which will align perfectly with existing mounting points on your chassis. No modification, cutting, or adjustment is necessary—just bolt them on and you're ready to drive.
- Do I need any tools to fit these? — You'll need a basic RC maintenance toolkit including Allen keys and potentially a screwdriver, depending on how your original plates are mounted. However, the precise manufacturing means you won't need any cutting tools, files, or modifications—standard RC setup tools are sufficient.
- What's the difference between these and the front/rear lower skidplate for Senton? — These ARRMA MT skid plates are specifically engineered for the TYPHON 223S BLX and TYPHON MEGA 665 models, while the Senton 4x4 uses different lower skidplate designs. ARRMA maintains separate product lines for different chassis designs, so it's important to ensure you're ordering the correct model for your specific buggy.
